site-specific
development
within
the
Baylands.
The
stormwater
management
plans
would
be
prepared
in
accordance
with
City
design
standards
and
the
most
recent
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
(NPDES)
C.3
requirements.
Stormwater
management
plans
will
be
reviewed
and
approved
by
the
City
Engineer
prior
to
approval
of
construction
plans.
See
Pursuant
to
the
requirements
of
CEQA,
the
Draft
EIR
evaluates
changes
to
the
physical
environment
that
would
result
from
approval
of
proposed
Baylands
development.
The
locations
referred
to
in
the
comment
are
upstream
of
the
Baylands
project
site,
and
are
therefore
considered
to
be
existing
conditions
rather
than
project-related.
Responsibility
for
the
monitoring
of
quality
of
upstream
stormwater
lies
with
the
RWQCB.
The
discussion
contained
in
for
wastewater
systems
would
also
apply
to
dry
utilities
and
drainage
systems
serving
Baylands
development.
Electrical
and
natural
gas
facilities
would
require
review
and
approval
from
PG&E.
The
level
of
information
set
forth
in
the
EIR
is
consistent
with
CEQA’s
definition
of
program
EIRs.
(See
1,
which
discusses
program-
versus
project-level
analysis.)
The
mitigation
measures
incorporate
the
regulatory
requirements
and
design
standards
by
which
the
final
design
and
management
plans
for
the
drainage
and
dry
utility
systems
of
the
proposed
developments
will
be
required
to
meet
prior
to
permit
approvals.
The
comment
raises
no
significant
environmental
issues
regarding
the
analyses
or
conclusions
of
the
Draft
EIR.
The
procedure
prescribed
in
the
Brisbane
Baylands
Specific
Plan
represents
the
applicant’s
proposed
approval
process
for
one
particular
type
of
permit.
The
City’s
authority
will
not
be
usurped
because
(1)
the
provisions
of
any
specific
plan
within
the
Baylands
must
be
consistent
with
the
Brisbane
General
Plan,
and
undergo
review
and
be
approved
by
the
City;
(2)
all
development
within
the
Baylands
must
be
consistent
with
the
specific
plan
as
adopted
by
the
City,
and
will
be
subject
to
the
review
and
approval
of
the
City;
and
(3)
all
development
within
the
Baylands
will
be
required
to
be
consistent
with
all
applicable
provisions
of
the
City’s
Municipa
l
Code.
In
addition,
the
City’s
planning
review
process
will
ensure
that
any
approved
specific
plan
specifies
appropriate
obligations
of
developers,
tenants,
and
successor
occupants
of
Baylands
development
areas.
This
comment
addresses
the
Brisbane
Baylands
Specific
Plan
prepared
by
the
applicant
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios;
it
does
not
address
the
Draft
EIR
or
the
adequacy
of
its
analyses
and
conclusions.
